in recent years, the number of research works devoted to applying the highly accurate numerical schemes, in particular compact finite difference schemes, to numerical simulation of complex flow fields with multi-scale structures, is increasing. the use of compact finite-difference schemes are the simple and powerful ways to reach the objectives of high accuracy and low computational cost. compa...

nowadays, the status of regulations of securities exchange section in accordance with its huge transactions and its increasing role in countries’ economies has gained particular significance. on the other hand, taking into account that iran is presently an observer member of wto and the necessity of its becoming a permanent one in the near future, it is essential to revise and amend its rules a...

The reproductive health approach to family planning shifts the focus of service provision from macro-level demographic objectives to meeting clients' needs. Little field experience exists to date, however, to indicate how to implement this approach. This study describes a field project in Davao del Norte and Compostela Valley provinces in the Philippines that implemented the reproductive health...

The Semantic Web envisions effortless cooperation between humans and computers, seamless interoperability and information exchange among web applications, and rapid and accurate identification and invocation of appropriate Web services. At the current stage of evolution in Semantic Web research, there is a growing understanding that a major step towards this vision involves the implementation o...

Computer based community systems can provide powerful support in knowledge transfer, both in the direct exchange of information and in finding people to exchange information with. Several such information exchange and expert finding services have already been implemented. The problem of current approaches is, that they are not able to exchange data with each other. User profile information and ...

Soil cation exchange capacity (CEC) is a parameter that represents soil fertility. Being difficult to measure, pedotransfer functions (PTFs) can be routinely applied for prediction of CEC by soil physicochemical properties that can be easily measured. This study developed the support vector regression (SVR) combined with genetic algorithm (GA) together with the adaptive network-based fuzzy infe...

In QoS-aware networks, such as DiffServ-enabled IP networks, UMTS, or IEEE 802.11e, the QoS-aware applications that run over them can identify service classes to their flows. The flows are then treated by the networks differently with respect to their classes. In contrast, legacy applications are not aware of the concept of QoS and do not specify any classes to their flows. Thus they cannot ben...
